Run Rudolph Run w/ The Harder They Come

Run Rudolph Run w/ The Harder They Come

Run Rudolph Run

Out of all the reindeers You know you're the mastermind Run Run Rudolph Randolph ain't too far behind

Run run Rudolph Santa's got to make it to town Santa make him hurry Tell him he can take the freeway down Run run Rudolph 'Cause I'm reelin' like a merry go round

Said Santa to a boy Child what have you been longing for? All I want for Christmas is a Rock and roll electric guitar And then away went Rudolph Whizzin' like a shootin' star

Said Santa to a girl Child what would please you most to get? A little baby doll that can cry, sleep, drink, and wet And then away went Rudolph Whizzin' like a saber jet

Run run Rudolph Santa's got to make it to town Santa make him hurry Tell him he can take the freeway down Run run Rudolph 'Cause I'm reelin' like a merry go round

Run run Rudolph I'm reelin' like a merry go round Come on run run Rudolph I'm reelin' like a merry go round

Written by Johnny Marks, Marvin Brodie

Keith's 1978 Christmas single.

Written by Johnny Marks and Marvin Brodie, and most famously performed by Chuck Berry, Keith's cover of "Run Rudolph Run" was originally released on Rolling Stones Records, with a B-Side of Jimmy Cliffs "The Harder They Come".

The single was re-released in 2007 by iTunes, under the Mindless Records imprint. This time the song was bundled with a previously unreleased 2003 recording of "Pressure Drop" with Toots & The Maytals.
